Derby was his official kennel name. (In the video, he is the pup with the green scarf. )
All the pups in his litter were named with letter D.
His mother is a golden retriever named Gingi, , and his father is a miniature poodle named Beau.
We visited for the first time in January, when we took Emily back to school. He was around 5 pounds at that time.
Joe wanted to name the puppy Harrison, and we call him Harry.
When we picked him up yesterday, we were astounded at his growth! His paws are huge.
He does not bark a lot, and has a nice disposition.
He is quite long, when he stretches out. The breeders asked that we would keep them updated on his size as he grows. He is the largest pup they have had so far. Even for a "mini" goldendoodle, they believe he will could grow to 40 pounds. He loves that "jabba the Hutt" blanket toy. It has crinkly things inside, and he slept with it last night.
Joe set up a "dog grooming station". He was very impressed by the petco groomers! Harry is very tolerant of having his fir combed. You can see why he will eventually need his fir trimmed around his eyes! It is good that he likes to be handled.
